There's so much space here.
It feels infinite.
Like nothing has to be contained.
We expanded.
You've expanded me.
You've unraveled me.

Ever since we've come together,
I feel open.
I feel open, and light, and... loving.
You didn't just add love to my life.
You've multiplied it.

Sometimes I'm afraid
That your well isn't deep enough for me.

Other times that feels utterly ridiculous.

I suppose this is real life
With real ups and downs.

I just can't ever imagine telling you
That I couldn't be there for you.

I make energy for the people I love.
I defy the laws of physics.

I wonder if you'll ever be impressed.

Your hands are water,
Your eyes, the sun,
And I am ready to grow.

My love.
I wish I could describe
The feeling— the relief.
Caught in a current
Rushing, smacking— struggle,
And the sudden
Drop.
Into you.
Soothing.
A first breath.
A realization.
That for you
This was on purpose.

When we met, I was still afraid.
That was August. This is April.
I've learned a new trick.
Every time I speak a fear aloud to you
it disappears.

Your eyes, when you're serious.
Your eyes, when you're sure.
Your eyes, when you've made me laugh.
Your eyes, when you're delighted by something I've said.

The rise and fall,
The valleys and crests,
Soft waves— soothing.

I didn't know love like this existed
before I met you.

I've never felt so jubilantly free,
and yet so surely safe.

My life has changed since I met you.
And I feel so... relieved.

I feel like I was caught in a current,
Or like I was falling,
Or like I'd been drowning,
And you saw me,
And very purposefully,
You caught me.
